It served me fairly well for a couple years, and I'll miss it. But now it's time to stop running on "autopilot" and get a new backup system. I'd like to stay away from helical scan systems since we just don't seem to get along, having had two DDS drives and two VCRs die on me in well under their expected lifetimes. SCSI is fine, and I don't care about speed. I'm looking to back up at a minimum 8GB per night. I'd like to keep costs low, both drive and media. What's everyone else's advice? OnStream's technology looks pretty good in the form of their ADR-50 drive. But 50GB is more than I'll ever need (at least, I think so). eCrix's VXA demonstrations are impressive, what with frozen and coffee soaked tapes, but that's helical scan again, isn't it?

It is a solid piece of molded plastic, rather flat and triangular in shape. The sticker on the bottom says "SanDisk Part No. SDDR-31".

I agree 100% on that matter, helical is not the best. two strong and well used technologies ate DLT and QIC/SLR. I went for the second one as it is even simpler than DLT (much less mechanics in the drive). At least Tandberg offers anything from 5 to 400GB (compressed).

I recently posted a problem with vinum/ccd but it is a ata Problem. When I use ccd with 2 IDE (master-slave UDMA2) I can make newfs and dd if=/dev/zero of=/ccdmount/test bs=1k count=1000000 on the ServerSet with about 17M/s. On the Intel815 (ich2) I get 49MB/s at UDMA5 and still 30MB/s at UDMA2. But the real problem is, when I try to read this 1G file the machine with the ServerSet controller silently dies. Same happens when I make a fsck. On the 815 I don't have any problem. Is this ChipSet really not supported or is the Supermicro board wasted 1k bucks? (The IDE is just for collecting data from the net for pushing it to tapes (320G), of course I also use the two SCSI chanels) Thanks, -Harry P.S.

I basically have two options: 1) Standard modems through a RocketPort (or similar) card, or... 2) USB modems. I know that option #1 will work nicely, but I'm considering option #2 as a standby - anyone have suggestions as to what USB modems to use?

However, you may not need to do that at all, as long as you have a good sized Ethernet hub. A company that I've used their products in the past, Equinox, has come out with a product that will allow you to control a serial device over an ethernet link. This way, I believe, you'd be able to get much better scalability, given that commodity ethernet hubs/switches are going for pretty cheap these days. If you're interested, I could dig up some more information and a URL. --- Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mike Nowlin > Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 3:44 AM > To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > Subject: USB modem suggestions > > > I'm planning on installing several 8-16 modem dialup > servers in the area via > FBSD.

This way, I believe, Terminal servers have been existing for ages (I even have a couple unused somewhere). One did provide SLIP, the other only telnet (you attach a dumb ascii terminal to the serial port, you attach the terminal server to Ethernet and can telnet to anywhere). But they tend to be expensive solutions. A Pentium 100MHz with little memory and 1GB disk, and a add-on 2 serial ports card, makes a cheap solution for a 4 modem dial-up. Replicate for any number of modem you need. No investment as the P100 are available for free all around.

Basically, it allows you to use interface any serial devices to any TCP/IP network. These may be a little overkill as far as adding a modem pool, due to the price. But, they certainly should get the job done. Equinox also makes the SST line of multi-port serial boards, but I'm not sure if there's any FreeBSD support for them or not. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Mar 14 4:30:20 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from ns1.akmos.ru (ns1.akmos.ru [213.247.128.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2F65E37B718 for ; Wed, 14 Mar 2001 04:30:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hook@akmos.ru) Received: from sloth (sloth.akmos.ru [213.247.128.13]) by ns1.akmos.ru (8.11.3/8.11.3) with SMTP id f2ECUGO70889 for ; Wed, 14 Mar 2001 15:30:17 +0300 (MSK) Message-ID: <0e2801c0ac82$8aa92240$0d80f7d5@akmos.ru> From: "Gene Sokolov" To: Subject: Advise needed: multiport ethernet card Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 15:30:23 +0300 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 X-Akmos-filter-result: Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We are in need of a 100MB multiport (2-4 ports) ethernet adapter for a total of 5 ports in one PC.

I'm interested in the standards such as placement of fasteners, power cords, network cables, and mounting. Ideally, this would be a learning experience--otherwise I'd just go plop my money down at intel. For the first time, I've had a reason to get into rackmount cases. I haven't found much in the list archives and my clueless web searches haven't provided me much in the way of results. I've found a few companies that provide them but they list minimal information and the cheapest I've found anything is $200 for a (empty) 2U case. I've found: http://www.rackmaster.com/products.htm http://www.calpc.com/html/contents.html http://www.aristaipc.com/chassis/chassis.htm http://www.antec-inc.com/product/product.html http://www.starbox.net/ (no parts) http://www.servercase.com/Rackmountcases.html (most impressive as far as quantity) http://www.gorilla.net/ to name a few. I'm really looking for the standards and parts. I know there's got to be a place to for each of those things. I'm also interested in what _works_ for other people.
